Coaches' Comment
MORIYAMA Yoshiro, Coach of U-16 Japan National Team
I’ll lead the team just like the two previous tournaments. This year, again we will invite the young generation from strong countries in the three continents to attend this tournament. I believe the players will improve through this great experience. I appreciate all the support for this tournament. I hope this will give the young generation opportunities to nurture themselves and to play internationally in the future.
